Tennessee Titans will have a competition for the backup quarterback spot this offseason. The team announced on Wednesday that they have signed former NY Jets’ signal-caller Trevor Siemian to a one-year deal.
Siemian started one game with Jets last season, stepping in for Sam Darnold in Week 2. The 28-year-old player managed to complete just three passes before suffering a ligament injury that ended up ruling him out for the season.
Siemian gives Titans an experienced option on the QB position, although he will have to fight off the 2018’s seventh-round pick Logan Woodside for the No.2 spot. The team previously let go of the University of Hawaii product Cole McDonald, whom they drafted in the last round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Trevor Siemian, himself a former seventh-rounder, previously started 24 games for Denver Broncos between 2016 and 2017. During that time, he completed 59.2 percent of his passes, throwing for 5,686 yards and 30 touchdowns.
Broncos brought in Case Keenum ahead of 2018 season and traded away Siemian to Minnesota Vikings. In Minnesota, he backed Kirk Cousins and failed to make a single appearance during the regular season.
